Personal Injury Cases

$7,500,000.00 settlement on behalf of badly injured infant whose mother crossed over centerline into oncoming traffic. Two law firms turned down the case before the family came to our firm. We developed a unique legal theory against mother’s employer. After three years in the courts, defendants caved in just before trial and the case settled.

$1,200,000.00 medical malpractice settlement against an orthopedic surgeon for a 41 year old CTA bus mechanic who developed a chronic osteomyelitis in his leg.

$475,000.00 settlement against a nursing home on behalf of an 83 year old wheel chair bound Alzheimer’s patient who wheeled her chair past a door on which the alarm had been disabled.

After aggressive investigation and litigation, during which it was discovered that nursing home personnel had falsified records, the insurance company paid.


$290,000.00 settlement on behalf of a 44 year old man who suffered dog bites while a guest at a neighbor’s house. The man, a security guard, had permanent scarring on his neck and leg. Though both liability and the extent of the injuries were hotly contested by the homeowner’s insurance company, aggressive pursuit by the lawyers resulted in this high settlement.


$250,000.00 settlement on behalf of a female pedestrian who suffered from reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a soft tissue injury, as a result of being struck by a cab while in a crosswalk. The lady’s original attorneys had dropped the case after the defendant cab company refused to make any offer. Following careful medical preparation for trial, the cab company paid just as trial began.


$243,571.00 jury verdict on behalf of a carpenter injured in a fall while helping a friend install a new roof on his father’s house. The man suffered bilateral heel fractures. The insurance company never offered more than $10,000, but the jury made them pay up.
